Red
Do Saints Wear Black and Blue....or Red
Acoustic version:
This song was created using my lyrics with Suno
Lyrics:
verse 1
i just asked you like
everything was going to be alright
but we ended up in
the parking lot that night
like you needed jesus
there just to witness
you breaking your
every promise
you needed me to have
a bit more in me to give
couldn’t see how much
i suffered for what you did
pre-chorus
and i didn’t cry for what was lost
i had already paid that cost
i can’t say when i went numb
too many reasons to name only one
chorus
go on, give
a tally of my faults
tie my name
to that crimson cloth
yeah, i know
you must’ve had it so bad
come on now,
tell them how,
i’m the walking red flag
post-chorus
tell them all i’m to blame,
go ahead,
but I think there’s a question
spinning around my head
do saints wear black and blue
or do they wear red
verse 2
you changed your words
so many fucking times
no worries though,
i know it’s hard to keep up
with the lies
i think it was
something about
lack of love
like i was supposed to
be turned on
by what anger does
or did we land on
that i laughed
at an old letter
like that undoes
a decade of
what i did better
pre-chorus
and when you point your finger
at the bad in me
who is still standing
at the end of the other three?
and i know you hate
that i didn’t cry
so you’ll add that
as another reason why
chorus
go on, give
a tally of my faults
tie my name
to that crimson cloth
yeah, i know
you must’ve had it so bad
come on now,
tell them how,
i’m the walking red flag
post-chorus
tell them all i’m to blame,
go ahead,
but I think there’s a question
spinning around my head
do saints wear black and blue
or do they wear red
bridge
time to lay in it now
we both know
you made your bed
i know your anger well
i know how good you are
at seeing red
chorus
go on, give
a tally of my faults
tie my name
to that crimson cloth
yeah, i know
you must’ve had it so bad
come on now,
tell them how,
i’m the walking red flag
post-chorus
tell them all i’m to blame,
go ahead,
but I think there’s a question
spinning around my head
do saints wear black and blue
or do they wear red
